Brief Answer:
See advice below
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If the child is having problems with hair growth I think you may need to do a blood test first to check for anemia, iron deficiency or folic acid deficiency.
About choosing a good shampoo you may choose one with natural ingredients, paraben free, tear free, sulfate free shampoo. Also, you may need to choose one without petrolatum and silicone. Choosing one with natural ingredients such coconut oil, shea butter may help moisturizing scalp and help hair growth.
Hope I have answered the question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
